http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-150-dr-larry-hurtados-destroyer-of-the-gods-part-2/ In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Larry Hurtado about his book Destroyer of the gods: Early Christian Distinctiveness in the Roman World, we discuss the distinctive "bookishness" of early Christianity, their distinctive use of their scriptures, and early Bible translations. We also compare and contrast early Christian moral instruction with what was typical for their pagan contemporaries. Dr. Hurtado explains some interesting differences regarding different groups of people and sexual ethics. Finally, we discuss to what extent some of these distinctives were lost during the development of "Christendom," and how present-day Christians' place in contemporary Western societies compares to that of early Christians in the Roman Empire.
